Awesome Creekside Camping
This was a wonderful camping spot. It felt very "in the middle of nowhere" but was not hard to get to. The actual campsites were spacious, with reasonable distance between you and your neighbors. The land was beautiful and full of places to hike -- our kids spent the whole time exploring the creek (which has a really neat rocky bed). We saw a ton of fish, snakes (all non-venomous!), and a turtle. We took a night hike and saw the milky way, although it *was *Tennessee on a hot night, so it was a bit hazy. We were so afraid of it being too hot to enjoy camping, but between the stream and the cool valley it was very pleasant to sleep despite leaving Memphis with temperatures in the mid 90's.
We purchased firewood and water and both were more than adequate, and the firewood included tinder & kindling to get things started. The firewood was well-dried hardwood and made some awesome coals for cooking.
If I haven't gushed enough, the bathroom facilities were the nicest (and nicest-smelling!) pit toilet I've ever used, with 4 stalls, no waiting, and motion lights for night-time drips.
The hostess greeted us very nicely and made sure we were happy, then left us alone to enjoy the woods. It can be a real trick convincing my kids to put down their electronics and enjoy camping, but they loved this spot. Highly recommended.
